Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet. There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by never relying on amazons proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.

We will try our best to move to a new provider right now as we have many competing for our business, however Amazon, Google and Apple purposefully did this as a coordinated effort knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.

This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too successful too fast. You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out.

It was rumored that Trump was in negotiations with Parler to do “something”.... any truth to that?

J Matze, You had to know this was coming. Part of the reason I refused to sign up on Parler.

Hey... here’s a novel idea....

Send everyone on Parler over here until you get back up.

Just so communication lines can be established.

Very interesting. I signed up for Parler and Gab about 24 hours ago and have yet to receive a confirmation email from either. Are they that overloaded with signups?

AWS is dead to me, and trust me, that’s going to cost them billions. I am heavily involved in mil cloud and knowing AWS will do this to a company is shocking to those that need reliability of service.

Amazon is just following orders from their ChiCom masters. This is an actual war but most people don’t realize it yet.

Locking the President out of all ability to communicate with the public is dangerous and SHOULD be viewed as a COUP! I doubt they will take down email servers but maybe they will try. We in Amateur Radio have whats called peer to peer email if regular email fails. Thia is done via the WINLINK system.

I can see it all now.....pirate radio ships off the coast of America, broadcasting Radio Free America, so that we are able to get the real, unbiased truth. It’s coming. Just like we used to do to the Russians, and broadcast Radio Free Europe behind the iron curtain. It appears that we are not yet fully behind the iron curtain, but it is closing fast.

We’ve talked about ending Amazon for a while, and probably will do that tomorrow. The online shopping is so convenient. We considered Walmart but I recall they had done something several months ago that pissed us off. (And then the tweet last week — to Hawley, I think.)

I think I’ve seen a list of right-leaning shopping options. If I can find it, I’ll post a link here in a day or two.

Possible blowback for corporate malfeasance via the SEC (illegal exercise of discretion subversive of the shareholder’s rights).
